StarCraft and RTS's in general are a victim of the casualization of gaming over the past 20+ years.
Relative to gaming as a whole, RTS's are a niche genre that appeal to a certain type of gamer, usually a much more "hardcore" competitive type. They are extremely demanding to both understand and to play well.
In the late 90's, that type of gamer was much more catered to as they made up a larger relative share overall, and more importantly the dudes at the dev studios personally liked RTS's themselves.
RTS's fell by the wayside because no big studio is going to invest many years and many millions of dollars on a game for hardcore competitive players that doesn't have any hope of mass general appeal.

Honestly, I'll play it. Can we get the original Blizz devs in to do the story and cinematics? StarCraft had banger cutscenes.

I remember having to avoid the times when the Koreans were on. They always smoked my arse

So like when they originally were going to make Ghost?
I think a stealth-sniper game featuring Kerrigan before she was transformed or Nova.
Maybe a game where you can rotate or switch between playing a heavily armored marine and a stealthy character. Give players completely different ways to complete objectives.
